Pros

Different Colors

You can order deal, pink, or purple. All colors cost the same. They are each thirty dollars. What’s more, they are not exactly the same. Far too often toys for children might have different color options but the overall design and structure remains the same. With this particular design, the functionalities are the same across all three colors but the design and look of the plush animals is slightly different.

60 Day Guarantee

The company has a sixty day money back guarantee, which means that if at any point within the first sixty days this toy stops working, you can get your money back. This is a great deal because a lot of as seen on tv items only have a standard thirty day money back guarantee which seems great. Then you realize that it often takes that long or longer for your item to arrive. With this toy, you have plenty of time to place your order, have it shipped, and test its quality before you decide to send it back.

Good Customer Service

The customer service lines are open regularly, with e-mail functions in addition to a standard phone number which is open every day. So far the company has positive reviews regarding their customer service standards and their ability to help with returns or order issues.

Cons

Not Sold in Stores

This offer is not available in stores which means that you cannot get out of the five dollar fee for processing and handling. There is also nothing exactly like it sold online or in stores so you can’t even settle for a different brand name with the same benefits.

Warnings

4 and Older

This toy is designed for children aged four or older. Those who are under the age of four should not play with the toy. It also required three AAA batteries, which are included in the order, and a parent should put them in place before the child can play with it.

Tips & Tricks

Different Uses

You can change modes such as play, music, or repeat by pressing the hand. Doing this will cycle through the different modes of play.

When you want to change music, first make sure you press the hand, to make sure that you are in music mode. Once you have done this, press the ear and it will let you change the type of music. Should you wish to change the sound of the voice, you can just tilt it from left to right. If you want to record a voice, start by pressing the hand to make sure it is in repeat mode. Once it is in repeat mode, you should press the ear to start recording. Wait until the unit stops talking to start your recording.

Talks to You

You can get your toy to say different things when it is put in different positions. To do this, you want to make sure you are in the play mode first. Then you want to activate a new phrase by placing the toy on its back, putting it upside down, putting it down on its stomach, or even moving it in a quick horizontal motion. Once you do this, press on its stomach to activate that phrase. By putting it in different positions, you will hear it talk on its own, seemingly interacting with you.

Alternatives

Other Recording Toys

There are lots of other recording toys like this one which are sold in stores and online. Many of them have some combination of the three things offered in this item, such as the combination music and pre-recorded phrases or the ability to record and play back the voice of children. They are all roughly the same price as this particular toy, give or take five dollars. However, the Brightlings is one of the only ones on the market which has so many changing options, like the voice level change or the record, play, and music change. With the three colors there is added variety such that children can enjoy the decidedly female pink, the decidedly male blue, or the fun and neutral purple.
